The butter situation has gained more
strength. The Elg1n dispatch shows an ad.
vance of 11ac from last week and advices from
other places all indicate firmer tendency.
There has been Il fair trade here and receipts
OF fine fresh-made stock are distributed as
fast as they come to baud. Buyers are not
willing to pay much OF an advance, but on

brands of creamery readily command 25 to 2Gc

week tor a few special makes. The best lots
of fall dairy are cleared up at % to 2ic. Long
diaries take n range OF from Is to 2lc y ID, with
only limited demand. Holders OF butter In
the country should not be too sanguine in re-
gard to prices. The fact that fine fresh stock
is gradually advancing is no proof that held
ere amery which has lost its fresh flavor will
follow suit
In the bean market buyers are little more
cautious, but prices are maintained. Small
pea command $3.50 to $3.50, and large pea
S2.35 to $2.i5 per bushel. The best mediums
are selling at $3.50 to S2.40.
Eggs have stiffened up a little and reliable
marks are moving Off pretty well. Eastern
extras command &c and firsts 30 to 2lc per
dozen.
In potatoes there has been a fair trade and
prices have ruled steady, Sales of Houlton
rose and hebron at Is to soc, and other kinds

Apples sustain a fairly steady tone. Choice
grades rule at Sl.75 to S225 per barrel and tan.

He was faithful member of the Congrega.

his views and teachings; his love tor the

his health permitted, and then during IA pro.
tracted and painful sickness illustrated the
truths taught by an accomplishing, cheerful
submission to the divine Will and personal

lowed in health His funeral was largely at
tended by friends, neighbors, fellow citizens,
aud comrades from several towns, and no one
brought more sympathy and comfort than
the governor OF the commonwealth, unless it
! be, indeed, the sunday school class whose
beautiful floral tribute was so significant as
! to convey abundant consolation and promise
reaching into the beyond; the design was
gates ajar." Col. Hamilton leaves a widow

NEW COKE SYNDICATE.

A Strong One to BE Formed at This
Weeks Meeting OF Coke OPERATOR
P1TTsBURG, Dec. 28.-The coke opera
tors meeting this week will probably re-
suit in the formation of stronger syn
dicate than the one recently disrupted,
inasmuch as the leading Independent op-
orators signitied their Willingness to be-
come members of the new organiza-
ton. The H. G. Frick company
will not be inclnded in the new
syndicate, but no opposition is ex-
pected from this tir,sl. 1t has large con-
tracts with the Carnegies, who own /.
majority of the stock l.. the Frick COM
pany, and for this reason it is
said the Frick company will maintain an
independents position. 1t is further re-
ported that Andrew Carnegie refused to
enter into combination with the other
coke operators, because it might not be
convenient for him to carry out the
agreement in case of strike. During
the last strike he was placed in Il position
where he had to have coke. his steel in
terests being greater than his coke inter-
ests, and he could we'll afford to sacrifice q
few hundred dollars and make it back in
his steel mills.

tact after the sevene storm it has passed

of them of kind which it would ,be al
most certain disaster for u vessel to meet
with. Almost anyof the logs of which
the raft is built would be apt to damage a
steamer, but take one Of the 9j-foot sticks
witha diameter of six feet at one end, and
let it hit Il vessel end Oh and it would prob
ably sink her in a few minutes Opin-
ions as t) whether the raft will hold to-
gether or separate are varied. The sub
ject is one of almost pure surmise. Some
hold that the raft will 'form Il bed of it

waves move with so much more ease
than she did when subject to Il control of
a steamer, that she will hang together
for an indefinite time. Others are cer-
tain that she has already gone to pieces,

BURNED WAKEFIELD.

THE Antics Of = Pet Monkey Cause the
Destruction of the Entire Business Por.
tIon Of the yillage---The Night Made

lunls and Thieves-.-Several Fatal Rows.
ASHLAND, Wis, Dec. 2S.-A mischiev-
ous monkey burned the little city Of
Wakefield Monday night. He was given
the freedom of the Vaudeville theatre
by the proprietor, Mike O'Brien, and at
about midnight he had circus with q
kerosene lamp, the oil of which he put
upon his hair and then set himself atlre
and scattered the flames about the room.
His antics in the big windows Of the
building were watched by crowd.
A few minutes later the en-
tire building was wrapped in
flames aud within an hour the. fire
tiend had the business portion Of the
town in its grasp. Every business house
of consequence was burned. There were
no facilities for extinguishing the flames,
and the buildings, all of wood, fell an
easy prey, There was u big crowd Of
hoodlums present and they pillaged the
stores as fast Is the doors could be
opened and revolvers were flour
ished by the drunken crowd, which
was fed by liquor. taken from the
Saloons, 1t was terrible night and
the helpless storekeepers were COM
pelied to stand by and see their establish
ments looted by the thieves. A desperate
Aght was made to save the Sparta
house, and this was the only success that
was met. After the fire fight between
O'Brien and Tom Lewis occurred Lewis
cursed O'Brien for allowing the monkey
the freedom of his place, damned him in
vigorous language, accusing him Of being
the cause Of the great calamity. O'Brien
pulled his revolver and shot Lewis
through the groin twice. He will die.
Both men are notorious characters in this
section. There were several other ARRAYS
of the same kind reported.
